- Planting:
- Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Madagascar Jasmine thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade.
- Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. If planting near a wall or fence, ensure the soil is enriched with organic matter for optimal growth.
- Install a trellis or other support structure to train the plant as an espalier, guiding the vines to grow flat against the surface.
- Watering:
- Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the active growing season (spring and summer). Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but also ensure it does not become waterlogged.
- Reduce watering slightly in the winter months when the plant's growth slows.
- Pruning:
- Prune after the flowering period to shape the plant and control its size. Regular pruning helps maintain the espalier form and encourages denser growth.
- Remove any dead, damaged, or wayward branches to keep the plant tidy and ensure that it remains trained against the support structure.
- Fertilizing:
- Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season, typically in early spring and mid-summer.
- Madagascar Jasmine benefits from additional feeding with a high-potassium fertilizer to support flowering.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Watch for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Insecticidal soap or neem oil can be effective in managing infestations.
- Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of fungal issues.
